PICKER FOR LOOMS- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,324, dated June 13, 1905. Application filed September 23, 1904. Serial No. 225,657.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, GUsTAv FALKE, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of Oberlangenbielau, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pickers for Underpick-Looms, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved picker for underpick-looms with looped receiving and sending bufiers.

The improved picker consists of two short flat pieces of suitable material between'which canvas strips are inclosed, projecting at both ends in the form of a loop.

In the accompanying drawings the improved picker is shown in Figure 1 in a longitudinal section on line A B of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a side view of the improved picker.

As can be seen from the drawings, the flat pieces a, which are made of ebonite, paper, iron, or any other suitable material, are connected with each other by means of rivets c or screw-bolts, which rivets pass through the ends of canvas strips o, inclosed between said flat pieces a a. Each of the strips Z) of canvas is folded together, and its folded end projects from the respective end of the fiat pieces and Instead of canvas, leather or forms a buffer.

any other suitable material can be used for forming the buffers.

The flat pieces a are inwardly beveled at their short ends.

This improved picker has the advantage that it is very durable, of simple construction, and that its use insures a considerable saving in shuttles.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

An improved picker for underpick-looms comprising in combination two flat pieces 01": iron, inwardly-beveled ends at both sides of said flat pieces, folded. strips of canvas inclosed between said flat pieces so that the folded ends of the canvas strips project from the flat pieces, and rivets rigidly connecting the two fiat pieces and the canvas strips, substantially as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GUSTAV FALKE.
